Friends are so amazing!

I have to rave about some amazing friends of mine!

I've been going through a pretty rough time lately. Not leaving my house, not calling any of my girlfriends here in Halifax, nothing. Basically what one would call a depression. I even bailed on last minute plans with my friends last weekend because I didn't have the money or the "happiness" to go over to their house. I really haven't felt this depressed ever in my life. And I know it's all because I was only planning to spend a week here in Halifax, instead of nearly two months (and counting!).

I've ranted to some of my friends on a message board and they noticed how depressed I've been lately. They've been there to chat with me and let me know that it's okay to be this sad, that what I'm feeling is normal given my situation (aka when will my life ever be normal?!). And this is where the rave comes in!

Last Friday, my friend Erin treated me to a girls night out to dinner! We met up with another friend Jenn and had an amazing dinner at Ducky's (in Alderney Landing....great little restaurant!) and it was so much fun to get out and do something. Then, two days ago, I got some mail from the NSLC....in the envelope contained a gift card from my friend Brenda in Ontario! She said I should spend it on a girls night out and stop sitting at home all the time!

And, I'm heading out on Saturday night too - off to a joint birthday party for some of my old coworkers from Old Navy! Girls night and martinis....should be fun!

I feel truly lucky to have so many amazing friends in my life. Every single one of them has enhanced my life, whether they know it or not. And every single one of them is what's helping me get through this time apart from my honey; again, whether they know it or not. I'm trying to look on the positive side of things these days and trying not to let this minor blip in my life get me down.

So, to my Lounge girls, my sorority girls, to all my friends - thank you! Your friendship and love has meant so much to me and I can only hope to enrich your lives as much as you've enriched mine!

Yes, I know this is a sappy blog post, but whatever....I'm in a sappy mood! ;)

(BTW - still no word on the job. I'm hoping that they'll call soon...I miss my honey!)
